How come you can give a women 5 pairs of socks.. and say ..a couple of t-shirts to put in the wash.. and you don't get nowt back?.. or you might get 2 pairs of odd socks back and find a t-shirt 2 months later?...

In t'imes gone by you could get home from work..dinner on t'able, change socks and go down pub...but nowdays you get these fancy washin machines women like to have.. they put a gallon of fabric softening stuff in,gel,cubes... but 4 hours later .. the socks have disappeared!
Never happend when they had good old mangle.. put yer socks in and they came out on t'other end.
 
aye, its the hungry washing machine. They are known to eat socks (at least they are at our house :D )
 
I do that with white ones for the kids but it doesn't stop em disappearing! They get down to about one sock each!
 
I've noticed more odd pairs of socks recently than I had before and of course blamed it on the hungry washing machine ....... until I found out the pups been nicking them and hiding them in the garden!!! :eek:
 
Ah bless! I too had that problem when mine was a puppy, he also had a fetish for tights, although the ending to that particular problem wasn't too pleasant - let's just say they didn;t come out naturally :)
 
Aye yep the washer is a clothes muching machine - had evidence recently, when my fav cardi came out of washer chewed as did my pillow case:(

So the holes in the kids socks maybe result of attempted washer bites:rolleyes:

You could always DIY :D
 
If your washing machine is eating socks then the answer is quite simple. Don’t wear socks then you have none to wash. If there are none to wash the machine can't eat them.

However I have trained my washing machine to behave. Everything that gets put in comes out in the same condition that it went in except the items are clean. But my machine does get its revenge. It turns everything inside out including socks when it is feeling particularly grumpy but on good days it is only the odd item.

OK! Nurse! I’ll put that jacket on now I’ve finished typing.
 
Isn't there a bag thing you can get made out of netting stuff that you can put your socks and smalls in???
 
My machine doesn't eat socks either, dont have a problem there, the underwire from bra's, well thats a different story, lost count how many times they've been dragged from the filter.

Did you notice how Tinks's machine machine does not have that problem :rolleyes: :D.

I have known a baby sock to jam the drum and cause the drive belt to come off on ours.
 
I dont have any problems with lost socks, or tangled tights.....or bra wires for that matter........I bung the smalls into a zipped cotton cushion cover and VOILA....they all come out clean as a whistle,nothing lost, minimal tangles...and if a bra wire escapes...it is there in the bottom of the bag.
